I have the meta refresh tag on almost all of my web pages so people 
will get the updated copy and not one in their cache. I had never 
heard that some search engines won't list a site with them. Can you 
tell us which ones? Must not be Yahoo because they have listed all 
but one of my sites that I requested.

Is there another way to make sure viewers get the most up date page 
on a web site?

Thanks,

Lori
